Characterization of carbohydrate chains of C1‐inhibitor and of desialylated C1‐inhibitor
Carbohydrate chains of C1‐inhibitor were identified with a binding assay using different lectins. Lectins from Sambucus nigra (SNA) and Maackia amurensis (MAA) that are specific for sialic acids bound to C1‐inhibitor. Lectin from Datura strantonium (DSA) reacted also with the inhibitor indicating complex and hybrid sugar structures.

Mechanisms of C1-Inhibitor Deficiency
C1 inhibitor (C1-Inh) is a protease inhibitor of the serpin family. It interacts and forms complexes with several serine proteases although not all these interactions were proved to be relevant in vivo. Based on studies in deficient patients, C1-Inh appears pivotal in regulating the activation of complement classical pathway and of contact system.

Lymphoproliferative disease and acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency
Angioedema due to acquired deficiency of the C1-inhibitor is a bridging condition between autoimmunity and lymphoproliferation. We report 32 patients with acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency: 23 have anti C1-inhibitor autoantibodies; 13 have monoclonal ...

A CASE OF ANGIOEDEMA: C1 INHIBITOR DEFICIENCY
Angioedema is rapid swelling (oedema) of subcutaneous tissue involving dermis, mucosa and sub mucosal tissues. It may be IgE dependant, bradykinin mediated, complement mediated, non immunologic or idiopathic. It may be heriditory or acquired.

C1 inhibitor of serine proteases (C1-INH) performs a regulatory function in the complement system and vascular permeability. Deficiency of C1-INH leads to various forms of angioedema, including hereditary angioedema (HAE).

HAE international home therapy consensus document [PDF]
Hereditary angioedema (C1 inhibitor deficiency, HAE) is associated with intermittent swellings which are disabling and may be fatal. Effective treatments are available and these are most useful when given early in the course of the swelling.
